Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this deeply grounding episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Greg Vost and Michael Nolan co-founders of Embodied Recovery for a transformative conversation on trauma, addiction, and nervous system healing. If you’ve ever felt like traditional talk therapy or medication wasn’t enough, this episode offers a new perspective.

Greg and Michael reveal why many people stay stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or chronic pain despite doing “everything right.” They share the science and spirit behind their embodied recovery model, how breathwork like Sundo rewires the nervous system, and why emotional healing must be felt in the body—not just thought about. They even guide listeners through a powerful live energy practice.

Whether you’re navigating mental health struggles or simply seeking more presence in a chaotic world, this episode invites you to reconnect with your inner rhythm.

About the Guests:
Greg Vost and Michael Nolan are the founders of Embodied Recovery, a cutting-edge treatment center in Silicon Valley. Blending ancient wisdom, modern psychology, 12-step recovery, and the breathwork lineage of Sundo, they offer a holistic path to healing that moves beyond symptom management into embodied transformation.

Key Takeaways:

• The nervous system is the foundation of emotional and physical health. If dysregulated, it can manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, or emotional reactivity.

• Healing is not just about talking—it requires embodied practices that shift how we feel and act, not just what we think.

• The breath is a powerful mirror of the mind. Developing a breath practice like Sundo cultivates calm, clarity, and resilience.

• Embodied Recovery blends daily breath practice, somatic awareness, 12-step support, and emotional unwinding to help people find lasting transformation.

• Emotional healing is not secondary to physical healing. Chronic emotional stress does show up in the body—and often drives illness or pain.

• Even a simple practice like mindful tapping and breath can awaken your energetic awareness and begin the healing journey from within.

• Healing doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a consistent relationship with self—built through gentle awareness, presence, and practice.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with renowned intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal. Together, they explore how our bodies communicate through symptoms, sensations, and emotions and how learning this “secret language” can help us heal from chronic pain, emotional blocks, and generational trauma. Inna shares her personal journey of self-healing, practical ways to connect with your body’s wisdom, and how ancestral patterns may influence your health. If you’ve ever felt “stuck” in your healing journey or sought deeper answers beyond quick fixes, this episode is for you.

In this transformative episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Glenn Beechy, a construction business owner, coach, and author who has lived through an extraordinary journey. From leaving his Amish home at 17 and carrying anger and resentment, to falling into over a million dollars in debt, and then rebuilding his life with spiritual, emotional, and financial freedom, Glenn’s story is powerful and relatable.

This conversation dives deep into redefining what true freedom means, cultivating the “never give up” warrior mindset without falling into burnout, and balancing business success with family, faith, and authenticity. Glenn also shares his perspectives on leadership in marriage and life, the importance of boundaries, and how unresolved pain can block personal growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking resilience, balance, and clarity about how to create a life you genuinely love.

About the Guest  

Glenn Beechy is a 44-year-old construction business owner celebrating 25 years in business and marriage. A coach, author, and speaker, he empowers men and women to live authentically, balance work with life, and break free from cycles of anger, shame, and financial instability. Glenn leads the Warriors Creed Men's Group and shares inspiration through his website, coaching programs, and YouTube channel.

Key Takeaways  

• True freedom is an internal state: Glenn explains how anger, running away, or overworking can feel liberating at first but can actually become another form of captivity.

• The warrior mindset has balance: Never giving up is a powerful trait, but Glenn shares how to temper it with compassion, self-awareness, and boundaries to avoid toxic masculinity or burnout.

• Relationships and finances are connected: Glenn’s experiences show that when marriages or core relationships are unstable, finances often follow, and vice versa.

• Boundaries create freedom: Intentional scheduling and clear agreements with loved ones help prevent overwork and disconnection.

• Healing the past transforms the future: Glenn encourages listeners to face unresolved pain and addictions that quietly erode confidence and leadership.
